I note the Deputy's comments. I will raise the local issues with the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, including advising people of the process that is in play. As already stated, the Minister of State announced €5 million for day care centres and meals on wheels. This is pertinent, important and key for the local community. I will bring the matter to her attention. As I am not a Minister of State in the Department of Health, I cannot go into any further detail at the moment.
